Job description

Do you want to work with PLC programming and/or electrical design in the food industry - at one of Sweden's leading engineering and design companies? Are you also unpretentious, social and enjoy working in a team?

Then this could be the right position for you!

The Food business area at AFRY is characterized by long industry experience and high competence in project management, process design, plant design, automation and quality assurance. As one of AFRY's strategically selected segments, Food is an area that we focus on globally.

Our business concept is to both manage and further develop our project business and our end-to-end solutions. We are in a strong growth phase and continue to expand, both nationally and internationally.

About the role

As an automation engineer with us in Gothenburg, you will work closely with experienced colleagues in assignments aimed at the food industry. Together we help our customers develop, streamline and optimize their operations.

We work in project form, where each assignment is based on the customer's specific needs and conditions - which makes each project unique. Therefore, we would like you to be flexible, adaptable and enjoy new challenges.

Examples of tasks:

• PLC programming
• System design and technical solutions
• Quotation work
• Electrical design
• Project management
• Commissioning
• Service and maintenance

The work group consists of 14 people with different roles, where about half work mainly with PLC programming and half with electrical design. Most have extensive experience in the industry, and we have a strong culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing. There is a lot of competence to take advantage of - and good opportunities for you to develop, from junior to a highly skilled automation engineer.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have:

• A minimum of 3 years of experience as an automation engineer, preferably in the food industry
• Relevant education in automation and/or electrical design, or equivalent work experience
• B driving license
• Good ability to read and understand electrical drawings
• Experience in PLC programming

We attach great importance to your personal qualities. To thrive in the role, we believe that you are curious, unpretentious and easy to collaborate with others. You are flexible, social and thrive in a varied everyday life where the customers' needs are in focus.

You work in a structured way and take responsibility for your work, both independently and in teams. At the same time, you are happy to share your ideas and experiences and have a positive attitude to new challenges.

You master Swedish and English well, both orally and in writing, and are used to working in project form.

Travel occurs in the service, on average about 20-40 days per year, both within Sweden and internationally.

Advantageous

• Experience with Siemens Classic and/or TIA Portal
• Experience as an operations technician with PLC systems
• General programming experience or a strong interest in programming
• Experience with electrical design tools such as ElProCAD, EPLAN or equivalent
